#i understand that her being a welder is cool and badass

Me, gently throttling the Shameless post S8-9 writers: Why didn't you have Debbie take a job at the nursing home. Her whole character up into that point was wanting to take care of people. She could have bonded with new, fun side characters at the home. We could have learned the fate of Aunt Ginger. She could have had funny B plots with V every couple episodes. She could have finally learned what a stable relationship looks like from watching older couples who've been together for years. She could have gotten another mother figure after Sheila left. Franny could have gotten a fun grandmother-type figure. Becoming a CNA is a very common career path for people straight out of high school. We could have seen an accurate depiction of how strenuous and hard being a nursing aid is. Ahhhhhhh.

#i understand that her being a welder is cool and badass #but I just feel like thay strong compassion she had for kids and the elderly left her as she got older #which I guess makes sense #maybe I'm just delusional #and I know ghat her attachment to kids and old people was because of her innate loneliness #but I just feel like it would have a been a good fit for her #but I would have kept the friend she makes welding and just made him another nurse #i forget his name but he's the ine who helped her get the birth control
